I have the same machine and mask. Petroleum jelly is a no-no in terms of life of the mask. If you have not replaced the face cushion yet you might consider doing that. I found a world of difference between a used face cushion and new one. I wash my face cushion and face each evening prior to putting...

I got a replacement hose from my DME for my Autoset Vantage. They sent me a Respironics 6 foot hose replacement instead of the Resmed 2 meter length hose. 1 meter = 3.2808399 feet 2 meters = 6.5616798 feet We deal with the metric system here in Canada. The hose that came with my Resmed S8 AutoSet I...

Wow... Results for last evening were still good with AI = 0, HI = 3.7... but I woke up around 3am with huge leak issues and the machine blowing at 14.6 as per the LCD screen. Why it was doing this I haven't a clue... still waiting on the software to arrive. Turned the machine off, tightened up the m...

The day should also be a statutory holiday... for hoseheads.

I have the Quattro and can report good success with it. I don't have the beard but on occasion do sport a coupla days growth. The upper strap... have this one fairly loose such that it wraps around your head lightly. You make all your upper mask adjustments through the forehead adjustment. Make this...

I can't sleep on my stomach because it hurts to turn my neck! It hurts to sleep on my side, as well (especially since my shoulder surgery), but I can't stay on my back all night because of my back pain. I guess I do toss back and forth a lot. Each time I change positions I get about 10 seconds of r...

I wonder if this explains that for years & years now I have always felt more comfortable sleeping with a fan on in the room... and through all seasons winter & summer. It all started years ago as a way to keep cool on those hot summer evenings but then gradually I started leaving the fan on ALL the ...

Hi folks... I've been noticing a trend with my previous range (8-12) that the machine seems to come very close and actually bump up against the upper limit as it did night before last. Last evening I gave it more headroom by changing the range to 8-15. Now down to AI = 0 with HI = 2.7. Achieved simi...

I have an old, off brand CPAP machine that I no longer use since I now have a Reperonics Auto Cflex. How should I dispose of my old machine Don't dispose of it. Keep it as a backup should your main unit fail. Only dispose of it when you replace your current unit at which point everything shuffles o...

I've been a big advocate for the 4 number spread on APAP settings, based on a self-titration I did last year. Well, Rested Gal looked at my recent numbers, and remarked if it was HER, she'd open it up to 20. I was hesitant to do that, and it took me a few days to do it, but I have to report I've be...

I ordered a new hose among other things. The DME sent me what I consider to be a piece of c**p that is much less flexible than others I have tried. However, the main problem is the length. Does it make any difference re the pressure at the mask if the hose is 6' or 8' or 10''? Is there a machine th...

I told my husband I wanted to get the card reader and software sometime in the future and when he heard the price he asked why I needed it if I had a sleep doctor overseeing things. Made me wonder too, but I know you all feel it really helps you know what is going on so if you could let me know wha...

I have the Everest2 cpap machine. Now this I like. -Affordable. -Provides a backup machine in case the main breaks down. -Provides solution for main power being down. -Provides a small travel machine. It seems to cover a lot of situations that would otherwise require more equipment (some of it heav...

Yes i had the same question when I was shopping. I called them and found the man to be very nice and he assured me that he had the latest 3.5 version. I got it 3 days later via USPS priority mail and have been happy with my purchase..... Oh boy... thank you for the quick response. I'm ordering NOW!...
